A 2,500-foot bridge partially collapsed in China following a landslide on the mountain where it was built.
The Hongqi Bridge was only just completed earlier this year.
It was part of a highway that links Sichuan and the nation’s heartland with Tibet.

The bridge was opened only months before its collapse.X

The bridge, which connects China to disputed Tibet, collapsed into a pile of concrete dust and rubble.X

Harrowing video of the incident shows the landslide pounding rubble onto the bridge, with the span collapsing under the weight and impact.
A portion of the bridge appeared to fall into the river that the bridge was built across.

​

The destruction sent dust and debris flying across the mountains, located in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan.
No casualties were reported.

Local officials said police in Maerkang shut down traffic on Monday afternoon after noticing cracks on the nearby slopes and roads above the bridge.
The conditions only got worse on Tuesday, leading to the massive landslide that took out the bridge, according to the local government.

The Hongqi Bridge was completed earlier this year to create an easier connection between Sichuan and the Tibetan plateau.

Americans want China to fail so badly, yet they elected Trump. Projection? Double-consciousness?

It did, they're supposed to account for the possibility of a landslide. It would be like building a bridge in California without considering earthquakes.

Bridge collapsed because of nature, not because of their building infrastructure

If their infrastructure didn't take landslides into consideration then the infrastructure was a problem
